Greetings to you all.
At present I am on the beautiful Waiheke Island attending a conference for a small group of principals from throughout New Zealand. There are 13 principals here and we all have to present to the group about what is happening at our schools and share some cool ideas that others might use.
I have chosen to share with these principals some of the things that we are doing in our junior school. In particular ideas like the Starting School Packs, the Starting School Soon Party, the first and second Word books, the amount of parent involvement we get in our junior school and so on.
Sometimes we take the things happening within our school for granted. We shouldn't though. I am constantly amazed by the work the teachers at Freeville do. They think outside the square and are solution focussed. We are very fortunate to have an innovative and imaginative staff, and I am always reminded of that when I share with other principals.
